| ScottK | apachelogger_: What release is the fix you committed for https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=296944 included in? | 01:02 |
| ubottu | KDE bug 296944 in Contacts resource "Possible data loss if the destination folder doesn't exists" [Critical,Resolved: fixed] | 01:02 |
| valorie | yay for JontheEchidna! | 02:31 |
| JontheEchidna | thanks :) | 02:31 |
| valorie | is quantal alpha really stable enough to use right now? | 02:31 |
| valorie | I see that Mamarok is already in it | 02:31 |
| JontheEchidna | yeah, it's probably past the catasrophic failure point | 02:32 |
| valorie | apachelogger_ told me to install the quantal cmake, so I wonder if just upgrading now makes sense | 02:32 |
| JontheEchidna | like when dpkg broke before quantal alpha | 02:32 |
| valorie | maybe I should do a backup first | 02:32 |
| valorie | I guess that's always wise | 02:32 |
| JontheEchidna | I ended up removing every package trying to fix dpkg :P | 02:33 |
| valorie | I'm not always wise | 02:33 |
| valorie | you are the guy to do that though! | 02:33 |
| valorie | I'm so happy to see the team getting so much support | 02:33 |
| valorie | KDE and Kubuntu are gonna rock | 02:33 |
| valorie | oh, is the datacenter move going to affect the upgrade files? | 02:39 |
| JontheEchidna | well, just that build times for PPA packages are now upwards of a day | 02:40 |
| valorie | wowzers | 02:41 |
| valorie | maybe after the move they will be snappier? | 02:41 |
| valorie | I assume the sysadmins are doing some improvements as they do the move | 02:41 |
| JontheEchidna | one can hope ;-) | 02:42 |
| valorie | sure | 02:42 |
| valorie | I hang out in the kde sysadmin chan, and they are awesome | 02:42 |
| valorie | in general, I have the utmost respect for sysadmins | 02:42 |
| valorie | they are much under-appreciated | 02:42 |
| JontheEchidna | agreed | 02:52 |
| JontheEchidna | 2 and a quarter years ago I did some IT interning | 02:52 |
| JontheEchidna | it can be a bit stressfull | 02:52 |
| ScottK | I once took a four how maintenance window to do a hard drive change on a system. I figured it was a 30 minute job, but being cautious, I scheduled more than I needed. | 02:53 |
| ScottK | I got the whole thing together and discovered that the hard drive controller I had with the disk drives I had, wouldn't work with whatever Linux kernel I had. | 02:54 |
| ScottK | Fortunately, I had a stack of parts for a new server I was going to build soon. | 02:55 |
| ScottK | I turned to that, built the new box, installed Ubuntu Server, configured all the services, and had it in operation just before the 4 hour window ended. | 02:55 |
| JontheEchidna | nice | 02:55 |
| ScottK | Actually it wasn't supposed to be a new server. It was supposed to be a new desktop for my wife. | 02:56 |
| ScottK | Not the most pleasant conversation we've ever had when she got home from work that day. | 02:56 |
| ScottK | She understood, but wasn't thrilled. | 02:57 |
| JontheEchidna | my mother doesn't like computer maintenance. she always blames new problems on the previous repair. | 02:57 |
| JontheEchidna | my dad would set her up with Linux since he hates doing windows maintenance, but she needs proprietary finance apps for accounting stuff she does... | 02:58 |
| JontheEchidna | there was one time in the late 90's when my dad introduced her to xboing and a jewel-stacking tetris clone on one of the old Redhat releases. | 03:01 |
| JontheEchidna | She got addicted to those, and as a result dual-booted linux for a whlie | 03:01 |
| JontheEchidna | (she loves facebook games these days) | 03:01 |
| valorie | she can always run win in a VM | 03:18 |
| valorie | for the accounting apps | 03:18 |
| valorie | ok, should update the netbook so I have a standby computer, do the backups and then the upgrade | 03:19 |
| valorie | bbiab | 03:19 |
| nixternal | JontheEchidna: RE: proprietary finance apps - the 2 top ones, Peachtree & Quickbooks, both have web based versions that work just fine with Linux, and are actually better than the client versions | 03:37 |
| nixternal | i use quickbooks myself, w/o a single windows computer on my network | 03:37 |
| JontheEchidna | nixternal: it's for a church, the division of which the church belongs to paid one of their kids to make some crappy software in what's probably VB.NET. | 03:38 |
| JontheEchidna | nepotism + church = bad software | 03:39 |
| nixternal | hahahahaha, now that sucks | 03:39 |
| nixternal | figured it was one of the only 2 that are any good | 03:39 |
| JontheEchidna | otherwise she uses Quickbooks | 03:39 |
| JontheEchidna | lol | 03:39 |
| nixternal | i have tried all of the open source ones out there. they don't even compare | 03:39 |
| nixternal | i would rather be stricken with a lifetime of windows 3.1 than have to use an opensource accounting solution | 03:40 |
| nixternal | i swear, open source accounting and project management apps are so over engineered it isn't even funny. just google open source project management & have fun. crm is the same as well | 03:41 |
| JontheEchidna | speaking of windows 3.1, she used Quicken back then on Windows 3.1. Made this memorable beep whenever she would enter something | 03:42 |
| JontheEchidna | bobeep! | 03:42 |
| nixternal | hahaha | 03:43 |
| JontheEchidna | probably used the system bell to do that | 03:43 |

| mparillo | Is it common for companies to block irc ports from work computers? I was able to use http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#kubuntu-devel, but not Quassel. | 20:36 |
| mparillo | or is it not my company's network, but this item in the freenode FAQ ... | 21:06 |
| mparillo | Open proxies are blocked because they are often used as gateways to the network for disruptive behavior that is difficult to stop. There is nothing to uniquely identify a proxied user. For VPNs and similar anonymizing services we can (and do) mitigate this by requiring SASL. This allows a user to voluntarily provide a unique identifier that can be used to mitigate abuse if necessary. | 21:06 |

| gotwig | hey, how can I install kde4 devel libraries? | 23:18 |
| gotwig | kdelibs5-dev ? | 23:21 |
| JontheEchidna | gotwig: that will be the most basic ones, yes. What are you trying to build? | 23:22 |
| gotwig | dragon player 3.. | 23:23 |
| JontheEchidna | ok.I don't know what additional development libraries that will need | 23:23 |
| JontheEchidna | but if an application is already packaged, you can run "sudo apt-get build-dep packagename" | 23:23 |
| JontheEchidna | not too much help since dragon3 isn't packaged tho :P | 23:24 |
| gotwig | even its libraries are not packaged yet. | 23:24 |
| gotwig | dude, I just need g++ xD | 23:38 |
